Kerr-McGee Tank Battery #61758 - Gas Extraction Facility in Frederick, Colorado

Kerr-McGee Tank Battery #61758 is a gas extraction facility located in Frederick, Weld County, Colorado, within the United States. The facility is operational and plays a role in the region's natural gas production, which is part of the broader Denver-Julesburg Basin, a significant oil and gas producing area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 for gas pipelines. As a tank battery, it typically separates oil, gas, and water from well production, with gas being processed for pipeline transmission. The NAICS code 211130 indicates it is involved in natural gas extraction. This facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Weld County, one of the most productive oil and gas regions in Colorado. Its location in a rural area near Frederick balances operational needs with proximity to populated areas, requiring adherence to safety and environmental regulations.

The facility is situated in a semi-arid region of Colorado, where water resources are critical. Gas extraction operations must manage produced water and potential emissions. Proximity to the Front Range urban corridor means air quality and methane leakage are key environmental concerns. The area is also subject to occasional seismic activity, though risks are generally low.
